Re: [ath9k-devel] New driver ath9k for linux kernel 2.6.33.3

2013-10-23 Thread Holger Schurig 
Simply install a newer kernel than!

Linux kernels are open source, you can download a kernel from
www.kernel.org and compile it by yourself. You can have the
distro-kernel and a self-compiled-kernel side-by-side, they don't
interfere into each other. Then use grub to select which one to boot.
Once you're satisfied, get rid of the outdated distro kernel.

Uh, I forgot to point you to compat-wireless - compat-drivers -
backports. Maybe this is of help if some restraint keeps you on using
2.6.33.3.

 Sometimes, a bunch of similar blocks of logs print together.

 I am not sure what's causing this. *Any* pointers would be helpful.

 I am no expert in wireless tech, but am tasked with implementing basic wifi 
 feature-set  for the product.

I suspect the ath_isr is not returning a good value to the kernel 
interrupt framework, but it might be a backports/compat issue.

 Thanks and Regards

[ath9k-devel] 802.11s implementation with 802.11n

2013-10-23 Thread Samira 
Hi all,

I wanted to check if the 802.11s mesh implementation works with 802.11n for
the ath9k device driver currently available. I am able to get the expected
.11n speeds when layered over .11a, but when the nodes are implemented as
.11s mesh points, the throughput is not improved above what I get for .11a
(no improvement offered by enabling .11n). From previous threads I see that
mesh and .11n may not work together, but has this fact changed since then?

Regards,

On some SoC platform, update kernel to latest maybe hard. You can try
compat-wireless
backport. I've installed it on 2.6.28 before.
